Kissinger Backs Clinton at State

It does not surprise me that Kinsinger praises Hillary. All Republicans support her and with good reason. Hillary is a Republican. She is a real hawk. What surprises me is that Obama is chosing her as Secretary of State. Well I suppose he did not mean it when he promised to bring CHANGE into Washington. Most of his cabinet posts are given to right wing of Democrats or Republicans. Enjoy it...

Outstanding? how about horrifying but why not appoint MRS Clinton to another position where she can show she is no Bill Clinton. He, for all of his immaturity, is a gifted politician: she is his wife.

I don't think Hillary should be named the sos. It would be like asking Bill. Too much of all in the family!!!!

Chances are it'll be Hillary at State. But I think Richard Holbrooke is just as likely a candidate. He backed HRC for prez and holds key positions with the CFR, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group. An investment banker by trade, he's also been on the boards of AIG and Lehman Bros (hint, hint). And he's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 7 times, to boot. He's never held the top position at State, but he's gotten close and has served as Ambassador to the UN. As the preeminent NWO, Establishment candidate, I'm giving Holbrooke a slight edge over HRC.

"Kissinger is a criminal and a blot on American history and American foreign policy - the intellectual author of the Pinochet coup . . ."

I know. It's like getting an unsolicited endorsement from Bush or Cheney. Some compliments are best ignored.

Bill Clinton:

Why won’t you list the contributors to your presidential library? What are you trying to hide? Of course such undeclared information would have no bearing on your “wife’s” behavior as Secretary of State, right? How stupid and forgetful do you think the American people really are? Divorce the bum, then apply for the job, Hillary!

oh please please not Hillary
for State

Richardson

Bill Richardson (New Mexico) is a great man for International service.

Bill Richardson is not the correct choice. He would be a bad pick.

Kissinger is a criminal and a blot on American history and American foreign policy - the intellectual author of the Pinochet coup, the bombing of Cambodia that led to the rise of Pol Pot, the prolongation of the Vietnam war for six years for crass political reasons... if Hilary does not disavow this endorsement, she is disqualified for that reason alone. Barack cannot run his own foreign policy with Hilary and her crowd at State.

i think hillary would be a great choice

i think hillary would make a great choice for sos. she is also loved around the world,and it will unite the party hold out a 100%.

Who care what Henry thinks? He also supported Sarah Palin.

This man should go away. Who cares what Henry thinks. He also supported Palin.

All the pundits,are speculating, that President,elect-Barack Obama,has offered Sen.Clinton,SoS position.Nothing is further from the truth,this matter did came about in their meeting,among other things.Obama,is one of the best tactician I have seen in politics.Thus,don't believe everything you read.Remember,when McCain,asked Obama,to define tactic and strategy,Obama,retort,"John,I know the difference".Yes,Obama,strategy won the presidency.The ball is now in Sen.Clinton,court.The world await her answer,so too,Obama.

Escellent choice

Don't do it, Barack! Hillary is smart, qualified, connected, and there would be some political advantages to naming her. But all of that is outweighed by the distractions and setbacks that would result by having Bill in the background. His financial dealings are bad enough, but who wants to amplify his every word and action and have those be entangled with the Obama administration? Unfortunately, it appears the die is cast now that this has been floated.

Ah, Kissinger. Repeating your speech from the June 6th Chantilly Bilderberg conference? The one Obama ditched his press entourage for (locking them in a plane about to take off) so he could attend with you and SOS-elect Hillary?

How funny that some on the left attack Henry Kissinger for *supporting* Obama's pick for SOS. Would you be happier if Kissinger criticized the choice?

Just a reminder, Kissinger was the last "successful" SOS. What he says does hold weight with many people. Study and learn from American political history.

Dave,
Mc SAME?
Looks to me like Obama has turned into Mr. WHO SAME...about change.

Hillary is a power in the Senate to run the Country her way. She is in a good position to move into the oval office in 4 years.

She is in a vulnerable position in the Obama administration.

Bill Richardson (New Mexico) is a great man for International service.

I concur. Hillary would be an outstanding Sec. of State and a perfect fit for that post. It would utilize all her greatest strengths in service of the country. Clinton's worldwide contacts, decades of experience and goodwill,and policy knowledge would be employed in the diplomatic world with the inspiration and guidance of Obama's message and focus. A perfect combo.
